How long does it usually take you to implement a new idea? An day, a week, a month? Well, for Wert.cx from Kama Games, it only took 2 hours (plus a bit more to tinker with the keyboard) to get the world’s most/least (choose whichever necessary) favourite OS – Windows 95 – running on his brand new iPad.

Safety be damned, this SoundManiPad-powered car audio system is pretty damn cool. It Onkyo’s ND-S1 digital transport for bit-perfect decoding, 5,1 sound, and pertinently, a McIntosh amp. Right, a touch-screen car audio system is about as safe as smoking a grenade, but currently, it is cutting edge and cutely demonstrates a use for the iPad’s great audio circuit. And if you hate cars? why not check out the Bluetooth/Kleer WirelessCy-Fi Wireless bicycle/sport speaker? That, friends is two-wheel audio/exercise bliss!

From my high-castle vantage spot in Seoul, I’ve watched the tragedy of AT&T’s tethering and data plan lies attack the USA, and in particular, one-eyed the AT&T ‘unlimited’ iPhone plan. We all have. Well, I think I’ve finally sussed it: if you remove two letters and swap a vowel from Apple’s iPhone, you arrive at the parameter which allows for proper unlimited data in an unlimited plan, the iPad. That is, the AT&T unlimited iPad plan really is unlimited. Terse as always, AT&T’s Mark Siegel explains it all:

HP’s Slate is a nice-looking product. And at least on paper, its hardware trashes the iPad. Numbers trap naive customers, but they don’t matter 2 months down the line. The Slate and Windows 7 will roll over, exhausting their momentum in a futile battle because neither company ‘get’ it: in the new wave of mobile computing, it’s all about the OS. Feel free to discuss HP’s Slate in our forums.

While the iPad has no camera, it CAN take pictures via an external camera, i.e., the iPhone. Camera-A (iPad: 1$) and Camera-B (iPhone: FREE) are two clever apps designed by developer Yusuke Sekikawa which mate Apple’s devices for wireless photography over WiFi or Bluetooth. The iPad controls the photography through the iPhone’s lens. Right, so why not just take the photos with your iPhone? The answer is here: because the iPad has no camera…

Adventure games have already proved to be a perfect genre for the iPhone. And just imagine how much better they would be on the iPad? Well, you don’t have to! Without any publicity or even an early hint Telltale games – the pioneer of episode based adventure games on the PC – have already released the first episode of Season 3 of their Sam & Max series on the iPad! You can grab it using the link below or check out after the gap for the description and screenshots. And no, Telltale has confirmed that no plans exist for an iPhone version.

In addition some hot news from the recently interviewed Charles Cecil from Revolution – they are hard work on a special high quality iPad version of the best adventure game, currently on the AppStore (as per our The App Store’s Best Adventure Games) – Broken Sword: Director’s Cut! Unfortunately it’s still a bit too early for any screenshots, but we’ll deliver them to you as soon as they become available! And a definitive answer to some of the rumours floating out there regarding an iPhone/iPad version of Broken Sword 2 – at the moment there are no plans for it – Charles is hard at work with Dave Gibbons on his next adventure game he hinted at during the interview.

While lucky Americans are already enjoying their iPads the rest of the world can only slowly die of envy while hungrily consuming all pieces of news appearing on the web. And some of these we receive with mixed feelings.

No, I don’t have one of these lovelies, Louis does. But, my virgin fingers are typing this message on a nice BT keyboard and I bet they are slower than Phillip Pud’s fingers of fire. So, assuming the neck-angle won’t kill you, the bright keyboard may just blind you instead.

Filemaker, a subsidiary of Apple and world-leader in database applications, have built upon Bento for the iPhone and iPod Touch and released a brand new version dedicated for the iPad.
